"Who are his Ahlul-Bayt (that the Prophet was referring to)? Are they his wives?" Thereupon Zaid ibn Arqam said: "No, by Allah! A woman lives with a man (as his wife) for a while; he then divorces her and she goes back to her parents and her people. The Ahlul-Bayt of the Prophet are his lineage and his descendants (those who come from his blood)..."
Sahih Muslim, 1980 Edition Saudi Arabia, Arabic version, v4, p1874, Tradition #37

Hudhayfa's narration is false because its narrated through al-Waleed bin Jum'ai who is perishable & we don’t see him knows who fabricate the tradition, he narrates some traditions telling that Abu bakr, Umar, Uthman, Talha & Saad bin abi waqas may Allah be pleased on them wanted to murdering the prophet by throwing him from al-qabah (mountain) in Tabook, verily this is a lie & fabricated.

Ibn hazem tried his best to discorrect this tradition, the most powerful point he could depend on to discorrect the tradition is to claim that the narrator al-Waleed bin Jum'ai is unreliable however I say that ibn hazem didn’t succeed in discorrecting the tradition because al-Waleed bin Jum'ai is a reliable narrator according to the Sunni school of thought.

Imam Muslim narrated from him in Sahih Muslim, so he is of Sahih narratorsImam al-Bukhari narrated from him in al-adab al-mufradImam al-Termidhi narrated from him in Sunnan al-Termidh & correct his narrationImam Abu Dawoud narrated from him in Sunnan Abi DawoudImam al-Nesaei narrated from him in Sunnan al-NesaeiHere is some renown Sunni scholars narrates from him & accept his narration.

let us see now what sunni "rijal" scholars said about him:Ibn Hajar said about him : truthful (seduk)Al-Dahabi said about him: authenticated (wathkuh)

Ibn Mueen said about him: reliable (thiqa)Al-Ejli said about him : reliable (thiqa)Ibn Saad said about him: reliable (thiqa)Abu Hatim said about him: his narration is good (saleh al-hadith)Ibn Haban mentioned him with the reliable narrators

So we conclude that the tradition is correct & Abu bakr, Umar & Uthman wanted to assassinate the holy prophet according to Sunni school of thought traditions

Imam Baqir has said: The one who is unaware of the oppression done upon us, the one who is oblivious of the snatching away of our rights and one who is unaware of the misbehavior of the Ummah towards us- surely he is amongst those oppressors. [Bihar al Anwar, V 55, p 77; Eqaabul Aamaal, pg 208]
